I finished shooting my F100 yesterday after work with my Devilbiss. I went to work today and had paint on my hands. A lady laughed and said her dad used to have a body shop and paint.

After work her husband had a bag of paint guns for me.

One was an original Optima 800I in unused condition. With a 1.4 tip (my go to) I'm grateful for the other items (one was a bottomfed HP popular mechanics gun id never seen before) but my mind was blown by that piece.

I tried to pay for it but they told me to either give them 37,000 dollars or take them for free.

Just wanted to share.

It's great when people pass on tools, that's happened to me a couple of times.
